First AR10 build

[DeadElephant]

The sales over the holidays were just too good to pass up.
It's mostly an AeroPrecision build.
M5 lower and upper build kit
16" barrel Ballistic Advantage (Aero sells them)
Geissele 3gun trigger
Magpul ACS stock
Suppressed Armament Systems brake
Troy battle sights
Primary Arms 4x14 FFP mil dot

I pulled the 2nd shot in the group but otherwise i'm pretty happy with how it came out.

Looks like a nice build

Love them M5 build! What kind of BCG did you put in it?

I used the AERO black nitride. They had them on sale for a good price. Was also hoping to avoid any headspace issues. It was a little tight on the no-go but seems to function fine.

Nice build. Working on one of those myself.

The bolt should not close on a No Go gauge using moderate thumb pressure.

You are correct . I actually meant the Go gauge.

Looking to finish one of these myself (except in black). It looks fantastic! You just got me even more excited about finishing my completed lower! How's that trigger treating you so far?

The trigger group was easy to install. More so than the early JP triggers that I've used. They provide 2 trigger springs one for 4.5lb and one for 3.5lb. I'm using the "gold" one which is 4.5lb. On my guage it averages 4lb 13oz.
The flat trigger is interesting don't love or hate, honestly don't really notice it. It does have a noticeable take-up then breaks clean. The reset is short. Would not want it on a precision rig but for its intended purpose its a good trigger.

Thanks for the input on the trigger. That flat trigger definitely looks sharp. Regardless of what trigger I get, it sounds like I should give the Geissele a look.
